When gas is high the economy is bad, when gas is low the economy is bad, WHY?

There is bad, badder and baddest. The root of our overall problems is BAD. So we can only use ER or EST to describe our state for that day. Until we can be more self sufficient with our energy sources we will swing dance. Until we take responsibility for our stupidity in buying half buses to commute one person on a daily basis, we will continue to be at the mercy of someone else.
